Fast company in the pool for once

I went into the pooling thinking I'd do a nice easy long swim today. The pool wasn't too full, so I hopped into a lane where someone was getting out. I started at a nice relaxed pace, then notice my lane-mate was slowly gaining on me. Couldn't have that! So I picked up the pace a bit. She followed, but didn't try to pass. When another girl joined us, it turned out all of us were about the same speed.

The suggestion/rant about the WTC and it's "Access Club" and overfilled events is here. I still don't understand what's so hard about managing a wait list.

"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!" -- Randy Pausch

My question: Is pain a brick wall? You can discuss in the comments section of that blog posting.
